ELATEwiki (the Electronic Learning and Teaching Exchange) is a space for those who work in e-learning to share their insights on issues of pedagogy, instructional strategies, student support, and technologies. This wiki site aims to support the building of both implicit and explicit knowledge in e-learning, a field which has grown in complexity pedagogically and technologically. A wiki belongs to its users: we are the ones who determine the contents, the structure, the shared work, and the collaborations.

Tam's students also integrate YouTube and Flickr into their blogs, maximising the potential of both social media and a learning management system. While the case study does examine one particular teaching application of a blog, the principles discussed can just as easily be applied to any teaching situation where the ability for individuals to chronologically record a learning process, collate different learning resources such as text, video and audio, and increased peer feedback or discussion between students is desired. This episode will examine the context, planning and teaching within the case study, and highlight any issues that were encountered, and benefits that make this type of online teaching worthwhile.
